Probably because once you send the CV they have enough (!) data to make a decision on whether you would be good fit, but with a two line email they can either disregard it or ask for more.
- orangethirty 14y agoThat's probably it. Plus there is an added benefit of a reverse filter. I don't want to work with any company that will, at the least, exchange a couple of emails with me. Any company who disqualifies me from just looking at my CV is not a good fit. Team chemistry for me is very important. I don't want to work in a place full of incompatible personalities. Not fun.

- pyre 14y agoPlenty of places with good teams may have poor hiring practices.
- orangethirty 14y agoExperience has shown me that poor hiring practices == poor team (in general).
- bvdbijl 14y agoHow can a place get a good team if their hiring practice is poor?
- pyre 14y agoHiring practices aren't a constant. They may have changed their practices for the worse.
- nostrademons 14y agoMost of the time filters are "all of", not "any of". A lot of companies may disqualify you if either you lack the necessary skills/talent or if you're a bad cultural fit. Disqualifying based on your CV just saves you time in this case - if they aren't going to hire you anyway, it's better if they let you know quickly rather than drag things out.
